To me tusks were kinda like invincible; the only reason they were desireable was the rarity. Once you take that away its just a bland model I’d never use.
But if that’s what people wanna run around with, it’s whatever.
When I saw the “rewards” for Remix’s Heroic Garrosh items, I was like “nah I’m good”. I’m glad, because I didn’t wanna have to do that much grinding anyhow.
They are pixels on a screen, not like some vase IRL that only 3 exist in the entire world.
They are pixels that can at any time be re-created by flipping a 0 to a 1. They are not “rare”, in the actual sense of rarity.
I mean, Blizz could literally make a turd helmet, one that looks like a literal turd, and people would worship the stupid thing if it had a 0.0001% chance drop from a mythic raid boss. It’s so silly.
OH! Here’s an idea… why don’t we make a dunce cap and make it drop with a 0.01% chance off the current raid boss, and give it to exactly 5 players in the world. I bet you’d see 5 people in the world happily wearing their dunce caps.
This is why I roll my eyes at people farming rare mounts. They do some of the most unfun and repetitive boring grinds for an item they will only use to show off how much they love wasting time doing tedium.
See, I will grab a mount if I come across it, sure. But I don’t go out and farm mounts just to have it. I will farm a mount, if I like the appearance of it.
Same goes with armor and armor sets. I’ll grab what I chance across, sure. But I only put time and energy into farming something I actually like the look of.
Otherwise, playing the game should be about having fun during the time you’re playing it. These people who bash their head off a wall to get an epeen item to show off how awesome they are because they bashed their head off a wall is the dumbest thing ever.
The reverse is true, I don’t consider an in-game item to have more value just because people worship the stupid thing.
Like the Tusks. I think they look stupid, therefore they have very low value to me. Just like the rest of Garrosh’s weapons. Which is why I didn’t bother farming them.
Nobody cares that you are salty that ppl have it lolz . its just a 3 x 3 pixel that players probably wasted too much of their life away farming it when ppl got it in 30 min of bronze farming .
The rarity is alll fake made by Blizzard and now destroyed by them , You think you are playing their game but they are actually playing you
Demanding a new texture so you can stand out makes it even more cringe is that all you think your time was worth
What’s not to understand? It happens in real life and that mentality doesn’t switch off when you play a game. If something is rare, people want it. Otherwise that uberrich guy would not be motoring around in his Lamborghini, he’d drive a Volvo.
Blizzard define what is rare and loose it into the game so people who still have that brain spark that reacts to “want it!” will keep trying to get it.
